Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 155

"Plum Authenticity Twist" was a unique skill of a renowned appraising master in the 1900s. It was rumored that as long as the master took some actions upon himself, the master could literally identify the authenticity of any antiques and famous paintings.

Nowadays, there were only a few people who knew of that technique. The reason Rosalie Naiwell knew that was because of the fact that her grandfather from her family knew of that technique too. However, Senior Naiswell had promised the person who taught him that technique something. He promised not to pass that technique to anybody else. Hence, he was the only one who mastered that in the Naiswells. 1

Now the "Plum Authenticity Twist" was being wielded by a live-in son-in-law. Rosalie felt that it was too preposterous, and it felt like a dream.

"What? Plum Authenticity Twist?”

A lot of people present heard what Rosalie said. They were slightly stupefied. Did it mean that the live-in son-in-law was not messing around, but he had some actual capabilities?

Both Wyatt Johnson and Jake Surrey looked at each other helplessly. For a moment, they did not know what they should say.

They knew of that more or less, and they had heard of

the fact that Senior Naiswell knew the "Plum Authenticity Twist”. But the others from the Naiswell had no such skill.

How was it possible that a live-in son-in-law, like Harvey York, knew such a technique?

Harvey was the only one who felt nothing from among everybody present. The Yorks from South Light were a large and influential family with prominent properties and businesses. In fact, he had some experiences in the past in not only martial arts, but also appraising techniques, piano, equestrian and others.

But even though he had only slight experiences on those things, it was not something achievable by any ordinary person. It was quite exceptional because the masters who were hired by the Yorks were always those who were the most outstanding ones from all over the world.

It was the same with the appraising master which Harvey had before. Up until now, he did not even know the name of the master. He just knew that he was an old man who was almost a hundred years old. The master had the most outstanding appraising techniques and insights. According to him, Harvey was even better than him who was the master.

However, Harvey had not much interest in appraising, so he did not use that all this while.

That day, he only used such a small trick, and it was really not such a big deal for him.

He then touched the mark he had folded softly, turned around and glanced at Rosalie. He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Naiswell, you claimed just now that you're going to address me as your father if this painting of mine is authentic. Isn’t it?"

At that moment, Rosalie did not dare to look down on Harvey anymore for not everyone could use the "Plum Authenticity Twist".

At that moment, almost everyone surrounded the painting, and they started to go round "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak” to observe it.

Even Mandy Zimmer and Cecilia Zachary could not help but walk toward the painting in their high heels. I t was true indeed. The mountains and rivers in "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" appeared just the same from the front angle even if one looked at the painting from the most slanted angle. There was not even a slightest tinge of difference. If Harvey did not point that out, the spectators might not even realize that.

Could it be that "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak” was authentic after all?

In that instant, Mandy could not help but be fascinated. She looked at Harvey in disbelief. 'Does my husband who's a piece of trash have this kind of ability too?'

Rosalie was filled with astonishment. Shock and fear were written all over her cold face. At that moment, her usual coldness and aloofness could not help but b e affected slightly. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat. She was filled with disbelief at first when she looked at Harvey. Now, she was filled with some admiration and respect for him.

'Is he really as ordinary as a live-in son-in-law? Isn't h e a person who knows nothing?'

Both Wyatt and Jake looked at each other. At that moment, they wanted to say something, but they did not know how to retort to Harvey. According to what Harvey said, "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" was original. It was impossible that the painting was a replica. Besides, the things he said sounded reasonable and logical. He could not be telling nonsense. Hence, both of them were slightly convinced. 1

But the problem was they could not afford to be defeated by a live-in son-in-law. Besides, he was a piece of trash. That kind of thing was utterly unacceptable for rich heirs like them.
